8/10
Tell Laura I love her
5 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I give a definite 8/10 for this one.

Cynical son, Chor Yuen is angry with his father, Chor Yan for always helping everyone else till the point he is broke. As such Chor Yuen is unable to go to med school and for the rest of his life, blames his father. His father is later beaten up by a robber and instead of feeling guilty, he fools around with a female doctor. He is transported back in time when he falls into a manhole, only to learn why his father was always preaching the phrase "ren ren wei wo, wo wei ren ren".

Both Tony Leungs exhibit fantastic comedic talent, especially, when they had to disguise themselves as "mahjies" to try and find out how Laura's father outsmarted Chor Yuen. Tony Leung Kar Fai plays his role as an honest man with integrity really well, while Tony Leung Chiu Wai played the role of cynical and angry man very well too. Through the past, Chor Yuen learns that there is a bit of his father in him, and while in coma, Chor Yan probably learnt that the duty of a father is to his wife and child.

The show, perhaps is lesson for all those who had disagreements with their fathers from time to time and perhaps, for fathers to learn that the "ren ren" in that phrase should be about their families.
